For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.

Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.

i-think-that It was hard for me to experience the better gameplay you're talking about because the controller gimmick was mandatory and very unfun for me to play with. I wasn't particularly fond of other games using that second screen as a mandatory inclusion, either. Also, because it's a story rehash, it felt more like a pretty but clumsy SF64 remaster than a new game.

The opening cinematic was amazing and should have been its own movie/show, though. sicko-wistful

I mean it's all subjective but I personally liked the controls and I'm sad about how hard they were rejected by the masses doggirl-gloom I do dream of a Switch port that makes them optional though, because I feel like the game itself deserves a second shot. There's a lot to like in the campaign (except for that helicopter level).

I don't want to yuck your yum there, so I'll just share frustration that Star Fox is probably mothballed indefinitely now.
